Brief Summary
Modification(s)  
The prevalence of myopia has increased worldwide in recent decades. Atropine eye drops can slow myopia progression by an average of - 0.54 dioptres (D)/year in Asian children and - 0.35 D/year in Caucasian children. It is an Open label case control prospective study which will be conducted at AIIMS ,JODHPUR ,RAJASTHAN with sample size of 125 eligible patients in each group to compare the efficacy and safety of atropine 0.01% eye drops in controlling myopic progression in children. Group A:  receiving atropine eye drops 0.01% OD along with subjective correction of refraction with spectacles or contact lenses in both eyes. Group B: receiving only subjective correction of refraction. All patients will undergo complete ophthalmic and systemic evaluation. A follow-up visit will be done after 3 months (+/-7 days), 6 months (+/-7 days), 1 year (+/-7 days), 18 months (+/-7 days) and 24 months (+/-7 days) of first visit. Primary Endpoints will be Change in spherical equivalent at the end of 2 years. Data pertaining to demographic details, clinical investigations, will be recorded in predesigned format and data will be  transferred to an Excel spreadsheet. In case of side effects , the same drug will be discontinued and treated with an alternative standard drug.
